Derby Police to particpate in today's Special Olympics Torch Run


DERBY - BOLO this afternoon, officers from the Derby PD will proudly be participating in the Annual Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run, helping to raise awareness and support for the remarkable athletes of Special Olympics Connecticut.
We will receive the Flame of Hope from Shelton PD at 2:33 p.m at St. Joseph's Church. The run will proceed over Derby-Shelton Bridge on to Main Street (Rt 34) before turning onto Derby Avenue (Rt 115).

The flame will be handed off to Ansonia PD at Division Street.
Motorists should expect temporary traffic delays along the route during this time. We ask for your patience and cooperation as our officers join law enforcement agencies from across Connecticut in support of this inspiring cause. Give us a honk and help cheer us on!!!
The Law Enforcement Torch Run is more than just a run—it is a symbol of inclusion, determination, and community support for Special Olympics athletes who continue to inspire us all.
